How to Remove Favorites From an Address Bar

Adding favorites to your Internet browser allows you to visit your favorite websites over and over again without having to type out the full web address. Even when you do type out the address, the address bars of most Internet browsers will automatically complete the address. This feature is not always beneficial and could lead to embarrassment or a breach of privacy, so most Internet browsers give you the option to disable the auto-completion of favorites in the address bar.

Disabling Auto-Complete in Internet Explorer 8

Click on the “Tools” button on the main menu bar. Select “Internet Options” from the bottom of the “Tools” menu.

Select the “Content” tab then press the “Settings” button in the “Auto-Complete” section.
